Suggested Link Builder and Brief

Hello I am looking to do some link building to get a clients site up the rankings. I would like to utilise the cheaper fees of an SEO in another country. India or somewhere Does anyone have any good references. I can see some good ones on O-desk. $6 dollars per hour. Also does anyone have an example brief/spec that would allow to to communicate key aspects? Thanks James

If you decide on hiring a link builder with a low service fee, then make sure that to know all the strategies, tactics or methods that they will employ to increase the rankings of a client's site. The last thing you want is to have an angry client complaining that the cheap SEO you hired has damaged the site's rankings or incurred penalties due to manipulative tactics.

A cheap link builder can be useful if one does not have a lot of time to execute a plan to get high quality links. It would be better to create a solid plan to increase your client's ranking using great content, natural linking methods, and building an online brand. Then perhaps one can hire cheap help if you need an extra pair of hands to put the plan into action. Keep tabs on the affordable SEO you hire to ensure that he or she sticks to the plan and does not use any short cuts to earn quality links for your client's site.

I'm running out of ideas of ways to build DA apart from links to be honest.

I undercut taxi firms (with masssive overheads) by supplying best price airport taxi runs out of kent. So my competition is generally local taxi firms with basic holding pages.

heres' the site. http://cheap-airport-taxis.com/

I can't see any other way to increase my DA from 19 than to employ a link builder to go a get links. I would ask them to report on on the DA and PR of the links and record where the URLs are so I can check them.

But with little value in hitting blog sites, directories now (as I understand they dont pass PR) what option do I have really? I cant get link aquistion from local government agencies ect as they prefer to promote the bricks and mortor style taxi firms.

Don't see what options I have left to build DA to be honest. A link builder seems the next logical step as long as I can track where im getting links from.

If you can tell me another 5 things I should do to build DA i'm all ears. I know link building is sneared upon but surley there is value there with what I can figure out - on page optimisatioin is woirth about 20% and the rest is basically linking...

It sounds like you're looking for an unnatural black hat strategy. As mentioned by the other people who answered the question I would suggest maybe putting that money in a content strategy. Remember that when it comes to black SEO, it might seem cheap and easy to get links, but if you want something to last for awhile content creation that's evergreen is the way to go.

I would not trust cheaper SEO's across sea's, they will often just use automation software and build un natural links. I am sure you can find a hand full that will legitimately build links such as sharing pieces of content from your websites & also content that they write. I would put your funds into content creation and come up with a strategy to get that content seen. Post to all social networks, and then use some of your content to specifically do guest blogging.

I would make sure each website has its own Facebook page, Twitter, Google+ & Maybe even Pinterest. You can also share your content through websites like Reddit, Digg and even Squidoo.

That is most likely not a good idea, majority of freelancers on Odesk and Freelancer all have grey hat or black hat link building. They spam lots of links to your site on other domains and this is not good for SEO. And at the end of the day it could damage your site.

I suggest you focus on a building great content and connecting with individuals within your niche to get links.
